Patented April a', 190s.

To all 'whom it may concern'.-

Be it known that I, IsIDOR KrrsEE, of the city and county of Philadelphia, State of Pennsylvania, have invented certain new and tin is spread over nettings and left in a drying room to allow the moisture to evaporate.

It is well known that in commerce it is preferable to produce this glue in thin-sheets of a smooth surface, and to accomplish such pulrpose is the aim of m invention.

eferring now to the rawingz-Figu-re v1 is a sectional view embodying my invention.

Fig'. 2 is' a partial elevation and, partial per-- `spective view of the device em loyed by me 'in theproduction of the thin s eets of glue. Fig. 3 1s a similar view to Fig. 1 illustrating a modification of my invention.

-A. is a receptacle provided with the orifice A1.- This orlce may be Yof any required width and should be narrow so that only a v veryfthin sheet o r stream ofliquid glue can issue therefrom.

C is the liquid glue contained in the receptacle and B are means whereby either with the aid `of compressed air or other suitable means a pressure is exerted on the material C, so 'as to force the same out through the orifice A1.

D is a chamber provided with the means .F'to produce 4in said chamber the necessary high temperature; and lrovided also' wit the means E which may e'connected to any of the known devices so as toproduce a vacuum in said chamber.

H is a reel around which is wound lthe pager G. L

are means to hold the comparative short piece of aper I. L is a drum or reel around which t ese two papers in conjunction with the sheet of glue or Gelatin 'is Wound. This drum is provided with the means M which may be coupledwith any of the well known actuatin means, such for instance as a motor, e ectricalorotherwise, so as to slowly revolve said drum.

In Fig. 3, N is a s raying deviceadapted to spray the materia O on the glue as the samev is beingreeled on drum L, andpro- 'this chamber. It isalso chamber should be of considerable height, so Vthat it should Vtake an appreciable time bevided with 'actuating means here nshown as electro-ma et P and springs n.

The mo us operandi of practicing, this my invention is asfollows z-Glue or gelatin whilestll in itsliquid state but of a syrupy consistencyI is placed in the rece tacle A- and forced, preferably with the ai of airlressure, through the oriceA1. preferabl of adimension sufficient only to allow ars eet or stream of the liquid mass of This ori ce is theithiclmess of a common sheet of paper to Issue through same'. The receptacle 'A is hermeticallysealedinto the chamber D; this chambershouldbe, by preference, air-tight and it isv advised that with theV aid of the means E the air should beexhausted from n fore the'sheet .of glueor ge atin, issuing from ythe orifice A?, should reachthe oint where it' strikes the peripheryof the ree L; for it is proposed thatlas the temperature of this chamber is raised to the required degreeand should, duringthe progress of its travel from the orifice A1 to the reel or drum L, be

evaporated so that when this thin `sheet of gelatin orv lue is wound on the reel L, they' same may e'dried enough so as not 'to stick` on the aper` G. But to better 'provide againstt e'sticking, I prefer to use what is commonly known 1n commerce as paraffin pa er, that :is,' a very thin .tissue-.pape vi ed withzparaflin.' .To start the sheet of glue or `gelatin on the reel L I provide the. small piece of paper I held by 'the slprin K; this for the purpose of guidingthe t proposed that this In 's eet "af as the air is exhausted., from this chamberthat the moisture in this thin sheet of glue of glue ,when it reaches thegreel L arund the 'periphery' of same; and for this purpose the ends of both the papers I and G' are securely fastened to the reel L. The reel L revolves i.

in the direction as indicated by the arrowat a predetermined speed which 'should be in accordance with the speedv with which the sheet of gelatin or' lue issues from the'rece taele A through t e orifice A1. When t e receptacle A is em tied, that is, all the glue formerly contained) therein has been reeled around the drum L, air is again allowed to enter the chamber D and thge reel/L with-its contents-is removed `troml the/' geha-ihber and is, by reference, placed in a chamber wherein .wit the aid o -fans or a like means the same issubjected to a continuous draft of air e'o as to drive 'out Emy moietue Whichl'etillf remains thereon." n j In Fig.'l 3v Il lleve 'illusin'ntedthe same method -aelin Figs. If mld 2,-'with the exception that Lheve dieeerdedmthe peper, G entirelyand heve-eubstitut'ed`therefor e spray of ne ,powdeig:whiehfmeyeonsist of telcum, megn' onggny othe suitable Ina-- teimnl;v "This-flortl''epurpoee o' keeping the derenttleyei'e 'of'glue from; adhering to eech other.

' Hevingnowdeeeribed my invention, what,

I vclanni -ee new and desire tozseeure by Letters Petegiet-a A 1. Theneethod of producing e continuous sheet of g? ne or'geletn,wh1ch consists in causing` the 'gine in e liquid or semi-solid state tov issue in' e. continuous thin stream from e reeepteele, causing this stream to descend and. during its descent ythe 'surplus' moisture tofbe evepomted, and causing the eo-formed thin sheet, to be Wound around a. drum or reel, the surface of the different layers or eonvolutions being provided. with eonvolutions provided with means to prevent the same rom adhering to each other.

3. I n the production of glue or gelatin, the method which consists therein, that said glue or gelatin, when still ine moist or pliable state, is caused to be wound es e. contmuous sheet on a. drum or sleeve, the different layers or eonvolutions seperated by e continuous sheet of peper.

In testimony whereof, I hereby sign my' neme inthe presence of two subscribing Witnesses, 'this twenty-third day of May, A. D.
